PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kurt Karlsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sigmund Bjorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Karlsson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Surfin´ bird. Bjorn has chosen Slipknot - Wait And Bleed as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
